We have been made aware of the following funding:

 The next deadline for applications to the Law Society Charity grants programme is the 11th November 2016.

The Charity provides grants of between £5,000 and £15,000 to voluntary sector organisations whose work is related to the law and the legal profession for projects that:

• Promote human rights

• Provide access to justice

• Provide legal education

Priority is particularly given to projects that promote the needs of excluded, under-represented or disadvantaged groups and minorities.

If you ask for more than this any grant will be scaled down to below £15,000. We may regard your asking for a very large amount as an indication that the project and your hopes for funding it, are unrealistic, and reject it on that basis.

Grants are usually on a one-off basis, but can occasionally be spread over two or three years. Applications which do not on their face seem to fall within the Charity’s objectives will not be considered.

More information at: http://www.lawsociety.org.uk/about-us/law-society-charity/apply/

I trust this is useful and ask that you do not hesitate to circulate as you feel appropriate.

Kindest regards

Edwin
